My 25 year old brother who has a baby on the way has been admitted to University of Penn since August 2nd. Originally we were told that he had a cyst on his spinal cord. A week here, he complained of head pain and was then rushed over to ICU to have a tube put in his head due to swelling around his brain. He’s had procedure after procedure and we still have no answers. As of today, 8/13, we’re being told that he has lesions on “tricky spots” around his spinal cord and he’s had multiple biopsy’s yet the doctors still have no idea exactly what this is, how to go about removing these or what the outcome is going to be. My sister in law is 6 months pregnant, going into work on days that she’s able to and trying to save for maternity leave and pay bills at the same time. We are trying to figure out any and all ways that my brother and sister in law don’t loose their home, car, etc. Within the next 3-4 months she’ll be giving birth to my niece and although we’re trying to stay in the moment and pray for Nicholas’ health, we’re worried about the future. Any and all help is needed. I need my brother to make it through this and my sister in law to have any extra stress (especially financial) removed considering she has kidney disease and has already had 2 miscarriages. Valentina is due November 27, 2019 and she is our miracle baby. Thank you
